Solv Protocol: Bitcoin Reserve for Everyone
Solv Protocol aims to be the on-chain Bitcoin reserve, enabling users to earn yields on their Bitcoin holdings without sacrificing liquidity. Through their Staking Abstraction Layer (SAL) and SolvBTC tokens (Liquid Staking Tokens), Solv empowers both retail and institutional investors to:
Access Diverse Yield Opportunities: Earn interest on Bitcoin through various DeFi strategies like staking, liquidity provision, and yield farming.
Maintain Liquidity: Unlike traditional staking methods that lock up your Bitcoin, SolvBTC.LSTs remain liquid, allowing you to trade them freely on different exchanges.
Seamless DeFi Integration: Solv acts as a bridge between Bitcoin and DeFi, enabling users to leverage their Bitcoin holdings across various DeFi protocols.
Security and Transparency
Solv prioritizes security by employing a transparent Proof-of-Reserve (PoR) system. This system allows users to verify in real-time that every SolvBTC token is backed 1:1 by either Bitcoin or a trusted wrapped Bitcoin asset. Solv also undergoes regular security audits by leading firms to ensure the safety of user funds.

Solv vs. MicroStrategy's Approach to Bitcoin Reserves
While both Solv and MicroStrategy hold Bitcoin reserves, their approaches differ significantly:
Goal: Solv focuses on maximizing Bitcoin's utility by enabling users to earn yields. MicroStrategy aims to preserve and increase company treasury reserves through Bitcoin price appreciation.
Strategy: Solv utilizes a yield-generating mechanism to transform Bitcoin into an income-producing asset. MicroStrategy adopts a "buy and hold" strategy, accumulating Bitcoin for long-term value storage.
